Odell Beckham had another subpar effort Monday night, getting shut down by the Vikings and getting into another skirmish in New York’s loss to Minnesota. Beckham hasn’t scored in five games, and the book is out on him: Get under his skin like Josh Norman, and let him self-destruct.

A week ago, his coach, Ben McAdoo, said “Emotionally on the sideline in between the series, he needs to do a better job … he needs to control his emotions better and be less of a distraction to himself and his teammates.”

Success has gone to his head. He wasn’t an emotional hothead as a rookie. This all started with the Josh Norman game. Norman got the better of Beckham, the former LSU star lost his mind, and he hasn’t really been the same player — or scored a touchdown — since.

Through four games this year: 22 catches, 303 yards, 0 TDs.

Beckham’s response?

"Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid." pic.twitter.com/wzLFJnGamb
